jhollow body A, as plainly indicated in Fig. ,3, and `the' bottom A2 of the hollow body A is provided withy a discharging device D, rising from the said bottom, to extend with- 60 in the hollow body A. When the discharging device D is closed and the filling device C is open, then the hollow body A can be filled with water (hot or cold), chopped ice or the like, after which the filling device C 65 is closed and the vessel is now applied with either the top A', bottom A2 or one of the sides A2, A4 or A5 to the part of the human body'to be subjected to the radiation of the To all 'whom it may concern:

5 and State of Kentucky, have inventeda new and Improved Hot-Water Vessel, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The' object .of the invent-ion is to provide ranged with non-flexible flat convex and concave surfaces, adapted to fit various parts of the human body and capable of giving'oft' vessel; i

In order to graduate the radiation of heat, use is made of a single layer of asbestos E, say applied to the side A4, while two layers of asbestos E-are applied to the-side A5 and 75 the third side A3 is without. layers of asbestos. A layer of asbestos E2 is preferrbly applied to the bottom A2, as shown. in

arranged for use as an -irrigatorfby suspending the vessel and using the same as a tank connected with an irrigating tube to discharge the waterunder pressure onto a desired part of the body.

For the purpose mentioned, the vessel is made of a non-rusting metal, having a flat top, a flat bottom and convex. and concave fabric material, incloses the body A to hold so tending within the vessel, to leave the top and bottom surfaces uninterrupted.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanying drawa close i'itting casing provided at the top ings forming a. part of this specification, in

with overlapping flaps F2 (see Fig. l) fas- 85 tened together by suitable fastening devices G, to hold the outer covering firmly in place. Now by having the side A3 without layers of asbestos, it is evident that the heat radiated at the side A2 is of a higher temperature 90 than the heat radiated through the side A4 covered with a single layer of asbestos E, and the heat radiated through the side A*5 is of still less degree owing to the two layers of asbestos E. Thus by using any one of the 95 sides different degrees of heat are radiated to the afflicted part in contact with the corresponding side.

The detailed construction of the filling cate corresponding parts in allV the views.

igure l is a plan view of the hot water. vessel; Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same, the covering being shown in section; Fig. 3 is an enlarged sectional side elevation of the same, on the line 8`3 of Fig. 2; Fig. et isl an enlarged sectional side elevation of the filling device; Fig. 5 is a cross section of the same; Fig. 6 is an, enlarged sectionalv side closing cap shown detached; and Fig. 7 is anl inverted plan view of the closing cap.

' The improved hot water vessel or bottle is provided with a hollow body A, preferably being had to Figs. 4 and 5: The casing C of sel consists of a. Hat top A', a fiat bottom A2 the lling'device C is soldered or otherwise a concave side A3 and convex sides A4', A5, secured to the top A so as to depend :from whichimay be of the saine or of different the same around an opening A6 formed in curvatures, as indicated in Fig. 2; that is, thetop A', and from the bottom of the cas- 105 t e curvature of the side Ai may be more ing C depends a threaded v'nipple C2, in pronounced than that of the vside A4.' In which screws a plug G', provided at the order to till the hollow body A with hot or top with a flange G2 adapted .to be seated cold water B, chopped ice or the like, use is on the upper surface of the bottom of the made of a filling device C connected with the casing C. From the top of the plug G 110 top A of the hollow body A,`and the said rises a yoke G3, provided with a pivot pin filling device C normally e tends .within the G4, on which are fulcrumed lugs H deheat ,emanating Afrom. the charge in the device C is as follows, special reference pending from a) closing disk. H adapted to as plainly indicated in Figs. 3, 4 and 5. A spring l is secured to the under side of the closing disk H, and presses with its ree end on a lug G5 formed on a pivot 'pin G, so that the closing disk H is normally held in a`horizontal closing position to close the opening A". Now by the operator bearing down on the end of the closing disk H on which the spring I is fastened, a swinging motion is given to the closing disk H, so as to swing the same nearly into a vertical position, as plainly indicated in Fig. 5, whereby the operator can take hold of the closing disk H and the yoke Gs to turn the screw plug G', with a view to screw the plug in or out of engagement with the nipple C2. From the bottom of the screw plug G depends a chain J, carrying at its lower end a retaining bar J', adapted to be seated against the under side of the nipple C2 at the time the screw plug G is unscrewed and moved into a raised position, as indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 4, to permit of suspending the hot water vessel or bottle from a nail or other suitable fixed support, engaged by the yoke G3. Lugs. G on the yoke G3 limit the'l Swingin motion of the'closing disk H, so that the isk H is properly supported in a horizontal position, as will be readily understood by reference to Fig. 5.

The discharging close the opening A",

device D, shown in detail in Figs. 6 and 7 consists essentially of a threaded casing D rising from the bottom A2 at an o ening A7,

and the said casing D is adapte tolreceive a screwf plug K for closing thejsaid casing. From the to of the casing D depends a nipple D2, having one or more filling openings D3 near lits open bottom, and the said nipple D2 is provided with an Aannular retaining ridge .or a

. plug K is screwed attached to the casing D A, the short leg of, the Siphon O extending shoulder D,

-moved from the chamber D', an

to retain a rubber irrigating tube in position on the said nipple D2. The plug K is provided with a nipple K for receiving the nipple D2 whenever the provided with a washer N, adapted to be seated against the under side of the top of the chamber D', to form a tight oint between the yplug and the casing wi a view to prevent leakage. When the hollow body A is filled with water and` the plu K is rean 'irrigating tube is connected with the nipple D2, then the water under a head or ressure can pass through the irrigating tube to a .desired part of the body.

In order body of water `use is made of a Siphon' O, within the body within the body A, while the long leg extends into the nipple D2,.as plainly indicated in Fig. 6.

in place, and the plug is l y v l plug for to completely drain the hollow The bottle cannot very well be completely filled with water through the filling device C, and in order to permit of completely fill ing the bottle, the latter, after being partly filled through the filling device C and after closing the filling device, is turned up-side down, and then the ca K is removed, to allow complete filling o the bottle, pouring the water-into the casing D from which the water flows by way of the inlet o'pening D3 into the nipple D and into the bottle, the siphon O then serving as an air vent.

From the oregoin it 'will be the device can be used as a hot water vessel or bottle or containing hot water and for contact of any one of the sides, top or bottom witha part of the human body, to heat the same, and the device can also be usedor irrigating purposes by att-aching an irrigating tube to the nipple Dz at lthe time the screw plug K is removed.

When using the device for irrigating urposes, the screw plug G the nipple C2 and is attached to a nail or other support, to support thevessel overhead and thus give the desired head or pressureto the water fiowing out of the irrigating tube.
